Presented by: Gonzo Okanagan
Host: Gonzo Okanagan

The exploratory and adventurous music of Franco-Albertan Ariane Mahrÿke Lemire is an organised chaos. Her vivid lyrics, and the melodies that carry them, create folk-poetry with notes of rock, beatnik and at times a little country. Through an authentic and natural stage presence, she invites audiences to journey between laughter and sighs, with her light anecdotes and intimate avowals.
Through her participation in events such as the Festival en chanson de Petite Vallée in Gaspésie, the Coup de coeur francophone in Montreal, the Rencontres d’Astaffort in France and the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, she has become a seasoned musician.
Four time nominee and two time winner of a Western Canadian Music Award, Ariane is a prominent figure in both the English and French music community of Western Canada. This past summer, Ariane was accepted into the artist in residence program at the National Music Centre in Calgary.
Whether performing for a small crowd in a coffee shop, or on a large outdoor stage for events such as Canada Day and New Years Eve, Ariane invites us to kick off our shoes, and delve into her poetic, quirky, and touching universe.
